    Well deserved for Calderon. He was a two-division world champion with close to 20 successful title defenses. All three of his career losses came in title bouts.

    Ok So Firpo gets in as an Observer but not an old timer?? Funny how that works for the guy who knock Dempsey out of the ring.

    Miss read it, old timer, I mostly used to in the Old timer is Firpo, not Firpo and observer.

    I think Hatton, Moore and Corrales are good to strong pics for the hall. Firpo is an iffy for me.

    Moorer deserves a nod.

    About time they let Primo Carnera in. Bunch of clowns.

    Moorer's top 5 best wins
    Holyfield clear as day #1
    Then it gets real shallow, Botha? Schulz? His late career win over Jirov? His fight with Cooper was awesome, but are we counting Bert Cooper?

    He is a part of a larger than life story. No shame in that.
